City Manager’s Office – Compliments, Feedback & Complaints

The City Manager’s Office has a policy and procedure for receiving and handling complaints when anyone is dissatisfied with service, actions or lack of action by a City Manager’s Office service, process or staff member for the following areas:

• Corporate Intergovernmental & Agency Relations
• Governance & Corporate Strategy
• Executive Administration
• Indigenous Affairs Office
• People & Equity
• Strategic Communications
• Toronto Office of Partnership

Complaints may be made verbally (by telephone) or in writing (by mail or fax). Any correspondence and/or complaint that contains profanity, rude or inappropriate language will not receive a response.

We make every effort to resolve complaints as quickly as possible.

• The City Manager’s Office applies certain standards for responding to complaints. Depending how the complainant requests to be contacted, the following standards for acknowledging complaint receipt at Second Stage apply:
  • Complaints are acknowledged by telephone within one working day of being received by the relevant service area.
  • Complaints are acknowledged by fax within two working days of being received by the relevant service area.
  • Complaints are acknowledged by mail within three working days of being received by the relevant service area.
• Where an expanded review is required, complainants are contacted within 14 days with either a final response or update. At that time the complainant is advised of when the next contact will be – either for a proposed resolution or for the next progress update.
• Complainants are automatically contacted when their complaint is escalated.
• The director may exercise discretion and contact the complainant more frequently or sooner than the above standards.

Please note: from time to time, there may arise extraordinary circumstances where the City Manager’s Office may not be in a position to guarantee these standards can be satisfied (e.g. during labour disruption, emergency management situation, etc.)
